Steps

Combine soy sauce, freshly squeezed lemon juice, honey, and soft brown sugar in a bowl. Whisk until combined.
Rub oil all over the spatchcocked chicken (with backbone removed).
Mix seasoned salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and ginger powder together.
Season the entire surface of the chicken with the dry seasoning mix, rubbing it in thoroughly. You may also pierce the flesh side under the skin with a fork or pointy knife to allow seasoning penetration.
Place the seasoned chicken on parchment paper on a baking sheet (or roasting pan).
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Bake the chicken for 15 minutes. While it bakes, prepare the honey garlic sauce: melt butter in a pan over medium heat and add minced garlic; stir until golden brown.
Pour the soy sauce mixture into the pan with the melted butter and garlic.
Simmer the sauce over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes to reduce it. Add a few drops of browning (or fancy molasses) if desired, then continue simmering for another 4 minutes until reduced and flavorful.
Remove chicken from the oven after the initial 15 minutes. Brush all sides with the honey garlic sauce.
Return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 45-55 minutes.
Every 10-15 minutes during the final baking time, remove the chicken, brush it generously with the prepared honey garlic sauce, and return it to the oven. Continue basting until the chicken is cooked through.
